[Nexus One General] BoostedSR20:
Update, just added a video to the top post, showing some speed tests. Sorry for the crappy quality, I have a decently old cam.

Also, just copied an Xvid avi file right to the phone, it plays great. I also got speeds around 6-8MB/second while copying, which trumps the N1's 2MB speed.
[Nexus One General] somebody7:
Just wanted to say thanks to the OP. You did a great job at getting a side by side comparison. I was really considering getting the vibrant, but seeing this kinda sways me to just wait till something better comes along. I'll stick to my nexus one for now.
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
Those Captivate pictures seem terribly washed out to compensate for the idiotic lack of an led flash :(
[Nexus One General] BoostedSR20:
I was thinking the same thing, but the flower shot is a toss up. The shot in the sunlight was horrible, and the inside shot in light was also horrible. The camera on the captivate has a TON of options you can play with, I'm guessing there is something I could do to try and get a better shot outside.

Still, your average user is gonna do what I did, auto everything for a quick photo.

Just shot a video with the phone for everyone, man it looks GOOD. Uploading now... Ok its up. Give it time to process for the 720p version to show up.

1280x720

29fps

11898kbps
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
wow these were some great videos. by far these are better than all other "comparison" videos i see on the web. most poeple just dont do the things i wanna see when they make a video.

anyway, after seeing this i still am happy with the nexus, and it matches pretty closely. but the ONE place that showed how much better the samsung is in the first video when he loaded the full engadget site, and pinch to zoom and scrolling up and down. that GPU really was making it smoother. granted engadget is a huge site, and the nexus may have had flash 10.1 while the samsung did not.
[Nexus One General] BoostedSR20:
I have been using the HTC ime keyboard, but its laggy for some reason. Trying the Samsung keyboard and discovered its mutlitouch, but the layout blows, and there is no speech button.
[Nexus One General] thatoneguy247:
Thanks OP

My dad just bought one and I like it.

Still not sure if I like it more than my N1, however (leofroyo 1.2)

No trackball and no led are drawbacks, but beautiful super amoled 4" screen, tv out, and native 720p recording are huge pluses. If I start seeing options for customs roms like we have with the nexus, I might have to get one myself :)
[Nexus One General] wrench115:
Thanks OP. The vid was great. I had recently just recieved an N1 as an upgrade from a G1. Was worried I made the wrong choice. You're video relaxed me a lot. Happy with the N1 to hold me over for awhile.

Also you might want to pull the vid off you tube and edit out mandy's ph# :eek:
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
I also want to thank the OP for this thread and your work. It is threads like these that make it so much fun! It's nice to know there is something decent for us ATT lifers when it's finally time to hang up the Nexus.

I'd much rather have a Nexus 2 tho! Anyway, great comparison!!
[Nexus One General] player911:
The Sammy looks like a great phone. Apps seem to load a bit faster. I can't see going from a Nexus one to that though, unless I either lost my nexus or was somehow forced to buy a new phone.

First time users or people looking to upgrade from crappy phones... yea Sammy all the way.
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
captivate photos are over exposed, its an easy fix in settings. In less then ideal conditions, galaxy's camera will win easy
[Nexus One General] BoostedSR20:
Thats what I was thinking also. This weekend I will try to get some better photos with it.

Been playing with the Captivate since Sunday, still torn between it or the N1... I'm almost scared to sell my N1...
[Nexus One General] innisdb:
the camera on the galaxy is NOT as good as the N1...my dad just got the galaxy (vibrant) and ive been testing the camera against my N1 and it just doesnt have the amount of detail as the N1. N1 camera is more detailed and sharper. more noise on the galaxy unfortunately
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
maybe true: 1.nexus 2.vibrant auto (iso 125) 3. vibrant saturation +1, iso 100

POWERFUL NIGHT MODE - GALAXY S
[Nexus One General] AlessandroIT:
After updating my N1 to Froyo, i noticed a huge speed boost.

In your opinion, is the Galaxy S as fast as N1 with Froyo?

I wanna buy the new samsung phone for the bigger screen, superamoled, dedicated GPu and wonderful touch/multitouch.

But of course, i don't want to jump back in terms of performance (related on everyday tasks..call, message, browsing etc)

Thanks :)
[Nexus One General] boodies:
Galaxy is actually faster than N1 even with 2.1 Eclaire. The speeds going to blow everything out of the water once it updates to 2.2. The N1 is a nice phone but it is what it is. Currently, the SGS is the most powerful handset one can lay their hands on. Come join us ^_^
[Nexus One General] BoostedSR20:
I think I've decided. I'm going to keep the Captivate, and sell the Nexus. I hope I don't regret it....
[Nexus One General] BoostedSR20:
Some new really lame developments, my GPS isn't working much anymore.

After sitting for 15 minutes.

Ok, after some playing around with settings, and editing a config file, I was able to get a good lock acccurate to within 5m next to my window. I haven't tried navigation with the Capivate yet, gonna go try that now...
[Nexus One General] Sounds Good:
It looks like the highlights (and details) are totally blown on the Captivate pics. Too bad.
[Nexus One General] waltah!:
I've noticed that the gps on the Sammy takes a couple of minutes for a solid lock. It's not nearly as quick as my N1. I did use the Captivate yesterday for nav in an area that I've never been to and it worked very well after getting the initial lock.

[HD2 General] d33f:
after going through a month of struggle and annoyance (the 1th month i own my hd2) finally i can use my device the way it should.

I had a lot of different problems like rebooting while is was listening to music and trying to update the weather at the same time. Hence i couldn't watch any streaming video with a reboot as a result. I thought hey let's flash a custom rom but that made the problems worse. I couldn't even finish the setup wizard :eek:.

They may seemed to be a software problem but in the end it was my mainboard. I had to live 2 months without the device before the mainboard was being replaced. But now i have 0,0 problems with energy rom :D

It's maybe a little sad that i can see the potential after 3 months of buying, but better be late then never ;)

So if any of you got strange ''software'' problems i could be very likely that the mainboard is the real problem..

All i have to say to my HD2 is... Live long and prosper xD
[HD2 General] FRANQ_23_PL:
Good to hear, that you'r phone working good now. Enjoy :)
[HD2 General] kotfarekot:

[Captivate General] Jreitnauer7:
Is there a way to use the captivate when plugged into my PC charging?
[Captivate General] bjabah:
This is very disappointing. I can't seem to use my Captivate when plugged into USB either.

bja
[Captivate General] leestyle:
That's odd, i'm using mine right now while it's plugged in.
[Captivate General] kennethpenn:
Same here. Earlier I had a weird problem like that though. Don't know what fixed it.
[Captivate General] bjabah:
Just figured it out. If you have usb debugging on you can use the phone while plugged in. If you have usb debugging off as it is when you buy it, you can't use the phone while plugged in.

Go here and make sure "usb debugging" has a green checkmark, then you can use the phone while plugged in.

Settings->Applications->Development and check "USB debugging"

Thanks,

bja
[Captivate General] tat2me2:
Same here, still learning about this thing
[Captivate General] caelestis2:
It has to be reactive when debugging so that developers can test their applications if anyone is wondering. Strange that you cant use it otherwise.
[Captivate General] kennethpenn:
I got mine working without USB Debugging. I don't know what fixed it.

It started working after I installed Launcher Pro, installed the computer drivers... etc.
[Captivate General] ihtanni:
I had the same problem, go to Settings>>Applications>>USB Settings and change it to Mass storage, that let me use the phone while plugged in. Have to mount the SD cards when you plug it in (notification when you plug it in) in order to browse them on the computer.
[Droid Incredible General] baram:
I've been having an issue where on roms running Froyo I can't get them to recognize my SD Card. It works fine and I can use them via recovery but once I boot the phone it doesn't see them at all for some reason. I've tried with a 16gb card from a droid and also an 8gb Sandisk I bought for my PSP. I've tried reformatting them via PC and using it, and I've tried reformatting them in the recovery screen on the phone but neither helped. It doesn't say "Blank SD Card" or anything when I put them in just nothing, but when I remove them it tells me the SD Card was removed and to insert one. So far it's happened on both Skyraider and CM6. Any advice would be appreciated.
[Droid Incredible General] rynosaur:
Yesterday's news. It's why I don't use Froyo ROMs on a daily basis yet.
[Droid Incredible General] bhazard451:
My sd cards work flawlessly on skyraider and CM6. Make sure you are formatted to fat32.
[Droid Incredible General] xray49er:
I was having a problem as well. I think the issue is if your sd card is partitioned. My sd card was partitioned with ext 4 from my g1 days. i just reformatted the card to fat32 and i have not had a problem again.
[Droid Incredible General] baram:
It's only got got the one partition. Reformatting was tried multiple times as was multiple cards and none of the above worked.
[Droid Incredible General] xray49er:
Did you try formating the card using the phone option. In menu>settings>sd phone card storage. there is an option to format the sd card. In skyraiders rom my sd card showed up as blank and i just hit the fromat sd card. it took like 15 seconds and now my card is working.
[Droid Incredible General] baram:
It doesn't recognize the card as inserted at all. Everything in there is grayed out. The only place it recognizes it is in the recovery where both cards I've used work 100% fine, but in Froyo roms they don't work at all. Both formatted via CWM Recovery, two different brands, two different sizes, they work fine on Stock and 2.1 roms.

e: it technically knows there's an sdcard in the slot because if I eject them I get a message about it, but they don't mount at all when inserted, no option to connect to pc via disk drive, and everything sdcard related is grayed out. and again this is only in the booted phone and recovery works 100% as intended
[Droid Incredible General] baram:
Apparently it's a deeper issue somewhere. My phone's internal memory isn't getting mounted for some reason in Froyo too. Did data+cache wipe before flashing Skyraider 1.7 --> 1.9 update and adb shell df had this to say:

so froyo isn't recognizing my external OR internal memory. what the ****? :(
[Droid Incredible General] SeizedPropaganda:
Any more ideas as to what might be causing this issue? I finally decided to try out CM6 test 8 due to the now working camera and am also having issues with the SD card. It is formatted Fat32, one partition, works fine in Jagr and non 2.2 roms just fine, also in recovery. I also do not have the option to format with the phone, it's as if it's not even inserted when it actually is.
[Droid Incredible General] sushkov:

Rooted phone like a charm.

Only thing is I cannot download from Android Market.

It stalls at "starting download".

I have tried following suggested remedies:

1. Log into G-Talk (cannot do it just idles at logging and never really logs in)

2. Backed up Market.apk and uninstalled updates and cleared cache thorugh settings-manage apps and re-installed Market again but no avail.

I am loosing it!!!:mad:

[Vibrant General] The_Chrome_Coyote:
I have strange market issues, but it seems more related to WiFi than it does to anything else. I have no problem connecting to the market via E/3G, but the second I turn on WiFi all my market downloads stall out, and I can no longer access GTalk, or Google Voice Search.

Didnt have the problem before root, or on any other rooted Android device.
[Vibrant General] Qwijib0:
Both before and after root, I've had market issues over wifi with needing to start downloads a couple times every once in a while.

No issues before/after root with market on 3G
[Vibrant General] WilliamStern:
I'm rooted as well with no real issues. I'll get a random force close from time to time, but I was getting that as well before I rooted. I just think it's a Market/Google issue, and not so much that the phone is rooted.
[Vibrant General] offensive:
I've had my phone rooted since it came out of the box, have had no issues.

I recommend doing a wipe on the phone and starting from scratch.
[Vibrant General] nemanjapavlovic:
I have tried Modaco thing it didnt fix it.

I cant seem to get to do with busybox either, likely as I am novice.

I think my problem was that I just plain deleted pre-loaded apps through android mate app to which i granted superuser access.

My redneck solution now is to take out the sim card put it back into my old my-touch 3g, access market, install app, back it up, transfer apk file over to PC and then from there into back-up folder in Vibrant and install it from there using astro. Desperate...

How do I wipe the the whole thing and start from scratch? Do I back up the whole ROM on formated sd card and then wipe and back up again from that sd card? I have never done that before. Wouldn't I just back up the whole faulty system again?

I've been having the same problem with no fix so far.

I also have a similar problem, but the the downloads start and complete, it just LAGS like no ones business (~15-30 seconds in between hitting install, and when the next "okay" windows comes up.....till then I am staring at 2 grey bars and the white application background w/ nothing on it, and no loading happening. Are these related?

Thanks!
[Vibrant General] skizzz:
Market root or non root fix.

I had the same exact problem like you guys.

Seems that the market it self and the "download manager" included in the market use individual settings to access the network.

I got this problem after i used wifi only to connect to the market. Downloaded whatever i needed.

Turned wifi off, turned off flight mode so i could connect to 3g.

Open the market back again, tried to download something else and always would get stuck at "downloading". Funny thing i could browse any apps in the market but downloading would do nothing.

Here's the fix:

Close market completely, either using a task killer or reboot your phone.

With wifi mode off and flight mode turn on, open the market app.

It wont do anything of course.

Close the market (don't have to kill app)

Turn off the flight mode, this will turn 3G back on.

Go back to your market and try downloading something.

It should work.

Feel like it's an issue with the market app more then anything related with root or non root being done.

Let me know if this works for you 2.
[Vibrant General] ikenley:
Unfortunately the above fix did nothing for me.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

open titanium backup

select the market

wipe data, twice if you want to

still in TB, go menu > more > market doctor

fix the missing links, if any.

go to market, accept the terms

go download an app

work?

This almost always fixes my market issues, if not... reboot and try another data (3g/wifi)

[Touch2 ROM Development] trebuh:
Plz let me share a way of using the original phone dialer in cooked winmo 6.5.5 (23563) without facing the scrollbar issue and without having to handle phcanrc after the flashing of the rom.

I cook with osKitchen Zero v1.31beta1 and use the Da_g rollup.

The way I used (maybe not the only one possible):

First, remodule the 'xda' phcanrc.dll using Ervius Kitchen. By 'xda' phcanrc.dll, i mean the one that is downloadable from some posts of this forum. This remoduling will produce a phcanrc.dll directory (a module).

Now open osKitchen. Work and when ready to 'start building', don't close osKitchen, but go and delete the 'Sources\Devices\HTC Mega\EXT Packages\Packages_HTC Mega\Phone Canvas Enhancement 2G v4.0.52619192527.0\files\phcanrc.dll' directory of your kitchen (osKitchen) and replace it by the one you produced with Ervius Kitchen. Come back in osKitchen and 'start building'... You're done. No scrollbar.

[Droid X General] ses1er:
I'm running Ubuntu Lucid and paired the DX via BT. During the BT pairing wizard, there was an option in Ubuntu for using the device's connection for Internet, so I checked it to try it.

After establishing a PAN connection, I was online! It seems BT tethering is builtin into the DX? I don't have pdanet installed and that's how I was gonna tether via BT until getting root access.

Btw, the phone is not provisioned for the 3G hotspot option nor did I opt for that option.
[Droid X General] Izord:
I'm running Windows 7 ultimate x64, and can confirm that BT internet acccess through the Droid X works.

I opened bluetooth devices on the computer, went into the DroidX BT menu, made the droid discoverable, paired with the computer, there was a pin to confirm, generated by the DX.

Then to go online on the computer I 'connected as access point' or something like that.

I'm posting from that connection now.

Also my phone is not provisioned for the 3G hotspot option nor did I opt for that option.

One less need for Root, although I would like to get rid of some of the Bloatware. I'm pretty happy with the ROM's performance and battery life is much better than the EVO, so a custom ROM is really not necessary, but Root would be nice so I could use ADB and Android Commander.
[Droid X General] Izord:
Speeds are pretty good

I'm getting between 730 to 1050 Kb/s up and 250 - 614 Kb/s down.

Once I got the DroidX into windows Bluetooth devices, there was still an exclamation point in a triangle next to it, but it doesn't matter.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmcnz:
Yes - well I have observed these symptoms before.

The kernel is falling over loading the audio drivers.

It's very strange but if you slow the boot process down you can work around the problem and then get the phone to boot. Once it has booted once the problem doesn't tend to reoccur very often. I have only noticed this on a handful of phones although I can reproduce it from time to time.

When "stuck" (it is actually boot-looping as you observe) reboot to recovery using adb or finger-gymnastics and wipe dalvik-cache (or cache for that matter)... but you need only wipe one of them. Reboot the phone from recovery, should boot as normal but may take a loooooong time the first time...

Please report back, I'd be interested in your findings.
